The Hoopers Podcast

Our guest was saying so many insightful things about Meghan and Harry that we had to put 5 mics on her! The echo is to symbolise how racism and colonialism still echoes across the world years after its supposed abolition...

How do we spot a narcissist? And how can we try to deal with them? The Hoopers Podcast once again back with a huge return before inevitably disappearing again for another six months...

Lots of people read books, but how many people TALK about books?! Probably none. So sit back and listen to two people talk about books.

All of the other Hoopers got together and had an afternoon party a few weeks ago, but it was too far to travel to from London. So I invited the only other London-living Hooper on the podcast to spite them.

Our most sought-after guest finally comes to the studio to tell us all about her outlook on life.

We discuss one of the most perplexing murder-mysteries of modern times; who killed 12-year-old Garrett Phillips in his Potsdam, NY, home in 2011? The assailant seems to have escaped from a 1st floor window, but who has a motivation to kill this child?..

Our follow-up interview with Jeff Buziak - father of Lindsay Buziak - who was brutally murdered in Victoria, British Columbia, in February 2008. Lindsay was a 24 year old realtor who was lured to the scene of her murder by a mysterious couple who Lindsay nicknamed "The Mexicans". Her boyfriend, Jason Zailo, discovered her in the master bedroom of the house she was showing the "couple". She had been stabbed over 40 times. In this podcast, we discussed the theory that her murder was revenge for a massive drug bust conducted in Alberta in 2008, as well as the contrary theory that Lindsay's boyfriend and his family were behind the murder.   As we mainly discussed new theories in this podcast rather than re-treading old ground, we highly suggest you first listen to our initial interview with Jeff, conducted in 2018: Jeff Buziak Interview Pt. I (2018) A link to Jeff's website Lindsay Buziak Wikipedia

Darlie Routier has been an inmate on Texas' famous Death Row since 1997, and is awaiting imminent execution. Accused of stabbing her two sons to death and blaming the crime on a mystery intruder, law enforcement soon turned their attentions to her when they realised that nothing had been taken from the house, and that the murder weapon had come from the Routiers' own kitchen. But is there more to this case than meets the eye?

In 1977, a letter-writing campaign full of harassment and libelous accusations began. Ten years later, one man was dead, his wife had survived a murder attempt and their brother-in-law was in prison.

We live in a time where some our greatest heroes have come under fire. Who better than to defend one of those fallen heroes - album by album - than three nobodies?!
